We shot down the street to the little shop called Aurora Dora where we met none other than Dora herself. Dora is a Brazilian photographer who of course ended up in Alaska who is world renowned for her photography of the Alaskan Aurora Borealis. The Aurora Borealis occurs when the sun's gasses enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with oxygen and nitrogen to produce the beautiful dancing lights in the Alaskan sky. The greens are most common but you can see pink, red, purple, and blue on special nights when things are just right. We noticed a black and white photo on the wall of a little girl with an old school camera. That, of course was Dora at 8 years old with her very own camera that her mother gave her when she was 6. She was absolutely precious. And her passion for the Aurora was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as the Aurora itself. We picked out one of her amazing photos and she explained the exact night that our picture was taken. We have it hanging in our motorhome so we can have a little bit of Alaska with us no matter where we are!

I love, love, LOVE Dora's images of the aurora. Every trip to Alaska, I end up buying more of her images for my collection! Her images are spectacular and she can tell you the story about every picture on the walls of her cute cabin store. This past February (2023), I also bought my daughter, Danielle, a private workshop with Dora, to learn how to take better pictures of the aurora. Danielle learned a lot about the auroras and her specific camera and lens set up, and enjoyed her time learning from Dora. If you ever visit Telkeetna, you should definitely drop in and check out her store, and I highly recommend her workshops as well!
